About Gertrude
Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings six years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps people can use in daily life.
Gertrude has worked with adolescents and adults on family conflict, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. She has particular experience with adoptive and foster families and people affected by domestic violence and other traumatic events. This background informs how she approaches safety and pacing in sessions.
Her work is collaborative and strengths based. Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most to the person and what small, realistic steps feel possible. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build momentum toward goals.
She also draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative ideas, and trauma-aware care. These tools are woven together to match each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. Topics commonly addressed include attachment questions, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and recovery from past harm.
Gertrude aims to help people reduce overwhelming feelings, strengthen relationships, and build clearer direction. She encourages practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, clearer boundaries, and routines that support well-being. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own motivation to change by asking open questions and reflecting what matters to them; it can be useful for starting new habits, addressing avoidance, and moving through ambivalence. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy so clients feel understood and can talk through hard issues at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks concerns into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may mix elements from different approaches so the plan stays practical and responsive to progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to meet during work breaks or between family responsibilities. For people who prefer step-by-step skill practice, CBT techniques transfer well to remote sessions, while Motivational Interviewing and client-centered listening also work effectively through conversation-based formats. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to what helps most in everyday routines. -
